THE OLD BROWN sOHooIrHoUsE.

It stood on bleak country corner,
The houses were distant and few,
A meadow lay back in the distance,
Beyond rose the hill to our view.
The roads crossing there at right angles,
Untraversed by pomp and array,
We're cropped by the COWS in the summer;
I've watched them there many day.
In memory's hall hangs the picture,
And years of sad care are between;
It hangs with a beautiful gliding,
Andwel do I love it, I ween.
It stood in bleak country corner,
But boyhood's young heart made it warm;
It glowed in the sunshine of summer:
Twas cheerful in winter and storm.
The teacher, O we'll remember;
Myheart has long kept him in place;
Perhaps by the world he's forgotten;
His memory no touch can efface.
he met us with smiles on the threshold,
And in the rude temple of art
He left, with the skill of a workman,
His touch on the mind and the heart.
o. gay were the sports of the noontide,
When winter winds froicked with snow;
We laughed at the freaks of the storm-king
And shouted him on all aglow.
We dashed at his beautiful sculpture,
Regardless of all its array;
We plunged in the feathery snow-drifts.
And sported the winter away.
We sat on the old-fashioned benches,
Beguiled with our pencil and slate;
We thought of the opening future,
And dreamed of manhood'a estate.
o, days of my boyhood bless We,
While locking from ife's busy prime;
The treasures are lingering with me
Igathered in ife's early time.
o. still to that bleak country corner
Turn my heart. in WEAKNESS yet,
Where, leading my gentle young sisters.
With youthful companions met,
cast a fond glance DER the meadow;
The hills just behind it l see;
Away in the charm of the distance.
Old school-house, q blessing on thee!

the next parish, in Kerry; Unfor-
tunately, one day when a great trial of
skill was appointed to come off, it
turned out that no backgammon box

contrived to forget it. To send for the

q waste of time, when the combatants

a lad who had decided genius for ex-

could be realized. Under his advice,

moved at intervals, so as to make the

abounded. The great difficulty was

on the ditch opposite each other, with

oeao,d;.o Ertra Sessions.

In an interview published elsewhere
in this issue, Congressman Payson, Of
Illinois, puts forth an idea that agrees
with the most progressive minds of the
country. II is nothing more or less
than longer sessions OF Congress, or
rather. a constant session, that should
meet in the early fall and only adjourn
during the hot period of the summer
months. II is becoming impossible
for Congress to attend to the business
of sixty millions of people in any lin
tied time, and the desire of partisan
press to hold the Presidcny responsible
for all the legislation of an extra ses-
sion, naturally in-lines the President
to be chary of exercising his authority
in the matter.
1t is fact, however, that the pres
ent limited time for the sessions of
Congress are not conducive to careful,
thorough or beneficial legislation. Too
much is to be done in too short time,
and the result too often is i'll advised
and hasty action, There is much work
for Congress to do, and it is of the
utmost Importance that it be done
advisedly and deliberately.

to the interview with Congressman
Payson, of Illinois, which we print in
full. Mr.. Payson gives the admins.
tration credit for those sterling points
which command the respect Of the
American people The administration
of President Cleveland is SO broadly
and firmly in the interest Of the people,
so true to the spirit and genius of our
government, so thoroughly honest and
businesslike, that brainy republicans
must need give it their word of com
mendation. 1t is to be remembered
that Oregon's Congressman, the Hon.
Blnser Hermann, sttunch and loyal
republican that he is, has taken public
occasion to endorse the administration
for the same points as are commended
by Mr.. Payson.
These things are especially gratifying
to democrats, and bespeak for Mr.
Cleveland the continued support and
good wishes Of the American people
during his second term of Office.

THE GETTYSBURG REUNION.

The survivors of the Union and con-
federate soldiers who fought the great
battle Of Gettysburg on July Sd, 1868,
this year held grand reunion of the
blue and the gray on that historic bat
tle-6eld. The occasion was a most
happy one and is one of the many
time-pasts that mark that the era of
bitter feeling, of disunited country is
gone and buried forever The meet
ing was grand contrast to that spirit
of bitterness evinced by some politi-
clans of the Fairchilds. Foraker
stripe, who see no opportunity for their
own personal aggrandizement than an
unhappy country torn into jealous hat
ing factions, SO that they may profit
by their country's woes Not one word
was said on the holy ground Of Gettys-
burg but what was full Of patriotism,
rich with love of country. tenderly pa
thetic in devotion of the flag of our
fathers, and solemn and sad in mem
ory of'the brothers in blue and gray
whose lives were offered up on that
ground twentyfour years ago, and
whose blood has firmly cemented an
indestruetable union of indissoluble
states.
Eloquent speeches were made by
both Union and Confederate soldiers,
and patriotic and manly letter from
President Cleveland vas read amid
applaus and cheers. All in all, the
Gettysburg reunion is one of the most
auspicious events of the time, and
speaks in no unmistakable Language
the fact that the American states
have entered into truer, better and
more perfect union.

Fairchilds called upon God to palsy

sober, but fool never will have ANY

Instead of always frightening yourself

more acceptable to your constituency,
